The aim of Razz poker is to get
the lowest poker hand in order
to sweep the pot. The lowest and
therefore best hand in Razz
poker is A-2-3-4-5. A stud game,
Razz works in much the same way
as
Seven Card Stud except for a
few differences:
1. Aces are low.
2. First round betting is
initiated by the player with the
highest card showing.
3. All other betting rounds are
initiated by the player with the
lowest hand showing.
4. In a case that the low hand
showing is tied between two
players, betting starts with the
player left of the dealer.
5. Straights and Flushes have no
ranking.
6. The upper limit bet is
introduced on the Fifth Street.
7. Face card pairs are never
announced.
8. All other pairs are announced
when they first occur only.
